post and replies

We want to hear how you spent your summer. Did you do an REU or other internship? Did you take summer classes, work at the mall? We would like to know, but we want to add a creative element to it, so we would like your description to be in the form of an acrostic. If you want to find out about acrostics, you can look here. An example of something that might be submitted is
